When choosing dog food from a domestic manufacturer, breeders and veterinarians recommend taking a closer look at the line of high-quality, complete diets from Winner. We offer a detailed analysis of the ingredients in Winner's dry and wet foods to determine the balance between price and quality, and also learn about reviews from pet owners and veterinarians about products from Miratorg, a major agro-industrial company.

Manufacturer
Important! Do not confuse domestically produced Winner diets with the holistic Winner Plus series, manufactured in Germany.
Miratorg is an agro-industrial giant specializing in the production of food products and high-quality premium animal feed.
Currently, the Winner brand offers the following product lines for dogs:
- Winner dry food for dogs of different sizes and ages (everyday rations);
- Winner wet food in cans and pouches for 1 feeding for small breed dogs (everyday and special diets);
- raw frozen rations BARF;
- dried offal (natural dog treats).
The company also produces a wide range of cat food.
Winner dry food
Dry food is the staple diet for most dogs today, so we'll begin our review of Miratorg's Winner products with this most popular category.
Compound
A clear advantage of Winner dry dog food is its high meat content (up to 35%). Owners can purchase Winner dog food with chicken or beef, but it's important to note that the meat percentages vary:
- chicken-based feed – meat content 35% (30% dried and 5% fresh);
- beef-based feeds – meat content 32% (8% fresh beef, 6% dried beef, 18% dried chicken).
Important! Beef-based foods also contain chicken, so veterinarians' reviews of this line are mixed and often do not recommend Winner dog food for animals allergic to chicken protein.
In addition to meat, the composition of Winner dry food includes:
- animal fat;
- rice;
- corn;
- corn gluten;
- liver hydrolysate (pork);
- flax-seed;
- dried beets;
- salt;
- dry yeast;
- fish oil;
- complex of vitamins and minerals;
- glucosamine and chondroitin.
Miratorg dog food contains small amounts of beneficial ingredients such as dried calendula, yucca extract, and chicory extract. The formula also contains oxidizers and preservatives designed to extend the shelf life of Winner dry food.
Assortment
Miratorg's Winner dry dog food line offers diets for small, medium, and large breeds, providing the opportunity to purchase kibble of the optimal size and hardness for your pet.
The gradation of feeds by age is standard:
- Winner Puppy – for puppies;
- Winner Adult – for adult dogs;
- There is no line for older animals or specialized therapeutic dry food!
Price of feed
Winner dog food is available in packages ranging from 0.8 to 10 kg. The official Miratorg website lists the following prices:
Feeding standards
Each food package lists average feeding guidelines based on the animal's weight and activity level. For small and medium-sized dogs, Winner recommends the following feeding guidelines.
Important! The table shows the daily feeding amount in grams. To calculate the amount of food to feed your dog per feeding, divide the number in the table by the number of meals.
Wet food
Winner's line of dog food also receives positive reviews for its wet canned dog food. Miratorg offers several flavors of Winner Extra Meat wet food in convenient 85-gram containers:
- chicken breast;
- beef;

The price is the same for everyone - 35.9 rubles for 1 pouch.
And also two specialized complete diets in pouches:
- Expert Gastrointestinal – for sensitive digestion;
- Expert Renal – for kidney diseases.
The price of special food is 58.9 rubles per 1 pouch.
BARF raw diets
The BARF (bones and raw food) diet involves creating a diet that includes:
- at least 70% is allocated to raw frozen meat, offal (10-15%) and bones;
- 10% – eggs;
- 10% – fresh vegetables and fruits;
- up to 10% useful additives, such as: fish oil, seaweed, cereal seeds, oils, etc.
Raw diets have grown significantly in popularity in recent years, but many breeders note that the most challenging step in establishing such a diet is finding high-quality meat. A raw diet can be based on either beef or chicken. Miratorg's Winner brand offers breeders the opportunity to select high-quality and safe frozen raw food for Black Angus dogs based on reviews or veterinarian advice.
The Black Angus series range includes two flavours: beef and beef with chicken.

The price of a package (600 grams) of frozen Winner food with beef is 438.9 rubles.

Reviews
Winner dog food (Miratorg) has only recently hit the market, so there aren't many reviews online. We've compiled the most informative ones:
Oleg, Krasnodar, veterinarian:
With so many pet foods to choose from, I try not to limit my clients to just the big-name brands. Winner, in my opinion, offers the optimal balance of price and quality, providing dogs with all the essential nutrients for good health. If your dog is healthy, doesn't require a special diet, and enjoys the taste of Winner, I have no problem with it. The most important factors are the animal's health, activity level, and overall fitness.
Anna, Ufa, breeder:
I have 10 dogs of different breeds, so we were looking for a food that would provide them with a balanced diet and still be affordable. Only two of my dogs are allergic to chicken, so we have a separate diet for them. The rest of my dogs happily eat Winner dry food. I'm especially pleased with the selection of natural treats, which offers something tasty even for our allergy sufferers.
Valery, Samara:
When choosing the optimal diet for our German Shorthaired Pointer, Badi, we settled on a raw food diet based on the BARF system. Winner's Black Angus food series has been a real godsend for us. I no longer have to worry about the quality of the meat I buy. I simply buy a few packages and store them in the freezer. When needed, I simply take them out and defrost a portion. Minimal hassle for me and maximum benefit for my dog! I highly recommend them.
